Such a nice and clean office. Love Dr. Faldu. Always clear and helps you understand the treatment plans. Definitely recommend this office.

Where do I begin? Drs Faldu and Marcel offer exceptional orthodontic services, the staff is incredibly friendly and walking through the doors we can always expect a great visit! read more

Marcel Orthodontist was very helpful and has helped my daughter finish her treatment. This has been a great help. Thank you

I had one year of Invisalign treatment to correct a bite issue that was causing excessive tooth wear. During my treatment, Dr. Faldu took over for Dr. Vargas and both were excellent, friendly, very patient and thorough in answering all of my questions, and very detail-oriented. The office is outfitted with modern, up-to-date equipment, and staff is meticulous about using best practices. Invisalign is already a great product, but having a great orthodontist managing your treatment really takes it to the next level in terms of both comfort and results. read more

The staff is so friendly and very informative plus they take their time when helping you to answer any and all questions you may have so you can leave feeling confident and ready for your treatment journey read more

I really wish I could give no star to this clinic. I would never take my kid there. They take a lot of XRAYS which are not good for a kid, . The doctor used her hand and eyes very less but used the computer and the photos to see the teeth instead . They don't even have private room for the kids but just one open hall where there is no privacy. The clinic is very small and the receptionist is very unprofessional. The doctor doesn't seem to be friendly with the kids. I would not recommend anyone. I was shocked to see another clinic where the doctor himself performed all the task and used only some xrays. They charged way less and provided very high quality service. I love that clinic. read more

We love Dr Marcel and his staff!! Everyone is always so friendly and kind. We have been coming to him for the last 12 years for both of our boys and have been extremely happy! I feel that they have the latest and greatest technology and are always cutting edge. read more

Both our kids have received braces by Dr. Marcel. Honestly, this has been the BEST doctor experience in my life. The office is wonderful and always decorated for any upcoming holiday. The staff are super sweet, knowledgeable, helpful and accommodating. I have NEVER had to wait for our appointment. Their billing manager (Kim), worked diligently with me to correct insurance issues and ensure coverage. Dr. Marcel is wonderful with the kids, discussed the treatment plan with them directly and was always available to answer questions or concerns. This is a well-oiled practice that delivers quality care, both to you, the parent(s), and their patients (your children). Hey read more

I want to be in the room when my child is with a dentist. I told the receptionist and she said that they have parents stay in the waiting room. I insisted and they allowed me but they made it uncomfortable and awkward. They clearly didn't want it to be a regular occurrence. read more

I cannot fathom what would have made my 3-4 years here any better. I got my braces off years ago and still miss these people. Dr. Cheney and his staff are unlike other orthodontists in that they do not treat you like cattle to be hearded through the process but rather as a person. They will explain what they are doing and why and make it as comfortable an experience as braces can be. Decades of experience means if Dr. Cheney sees it he can fix it. I reccommend him to everyone and their kids. They worked around my schedual, they were friendly and understanding, if any emergency happened involving my dental stuff or if anything was uncomfortable they would respond quickly and make time to fix it fast. I grew to trust Dr. Cheney in a way I never have trusted a doctor or dentists or orthodontist before. Look, if you are still on the fence I will make it easy for you. Just go to Dr. Cheney's office and talk to the staff their. Just try a consultation. You will be sold, trust me. read more

I had night guards made at Marcel Ortho. The staff was amazing. Very polite and friendly and knowledgeable AND honest. I was questioning the status of my teeth after so many years of not wearing a retainer. They didn't try and sell me something I didn't need but instead made me the night guard which doubles as a retainer. Couldn't be more pleased. I completely recommend this office read more

The entire staff at Marcel Orthodontics is AMAZING!! They are all so welcoming and friendly and made our trip to the orthodontist a special one. Their facility is clean, professional and warm and the staff always goes the extra mile for their patients and families! I coach the Amador Valley Girls Lacrosse team in Pleasanton and Marcel Orthodontics made 40 customized sports mouth guards for all of our players! The girls have all said this is hands down the BEST sports mouth guard they have ever worn. They feel like the customized mouth guards fit so well and they all say how extremely comfortable they are. Marcel Orthodontics allowed our entire JV and Varsity team to get fit for the mouth guards in the same day and had the mouth guards ready for pick up in less than a week-simply incredible!!! If you are looking for a great orthodontist, look no further! read more

My daughter was having pain with her braces and her normal orthodontist was closed. Marcel Ortho saw my daughter, fixed her issue and refused to even receive compensation. We will definitely take my son in for braces at Marcel. Great staff, immaculate facilities, and a great example of going the extra distance!! read more

Marcel Orthodontics have been the best choice for all of us. Thank you all for so much for working so hard. You guys are the best .

I grew up with Dr. Cheney as my orthodontist and I can attest to the fact that he is not only an amazing Doctor but person as well. I had many issues with my teeth and it was a long arduous process getting them straightened and looking good. Dr. Cheney and his team were there every step of the way and I am so pleased with the results. His office has a family feel and everyone is so kind. If you are looking for an orthodontist don't look any further. Thanks dr. Cheney!!! read more

My family has been going to Dr. Cheney's office since 2000! First our daughter, then our son and then even my mom! Everyone received great care and their smiles look fabulous! The staff is courteous and friendly. And Dr. Cheney is a caring and thoughtful orthodontist. I highly recommend this practice. read more

Both of my kids went to Dr. Cheney for their orthodontic needs and they have vey nice teeth after his treatments. He is very friendly and does a excellent job. The staff members are wonderful as well. I highly recommend him. read more

Dr. Cheney is a wonderful orthodontist. He has a fantastic bed side manner and great attention to detail. He also has a wonderful support staff! My daughter was a thumb sucker and other orthodontists recommended an appliance upon consultation. Dr. Cheney recommended a positive reinforcement program that he directly oversees and my daughter had amazing results! I referred several friends to Dr. Cheney for his thumb sucking protocol and they also had great results. Dr. Cheney was my orthodontist and I'm a very satisfied former client. In addition, he put on my daughter's braces and we are very happy with the results. She now has a beautiful smile! Dr. Cheney will take care of my youngest daughter who will be getting braces on very soon. Thank you, Dr. Cheney & Staff!!! read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Cheney! All three of my kids went to Dr. Cheney for their orthodontic needs and their smiles are beautiful. I really appreciate how knowledgeable Dr. Cheney is and I knew that I could trust his recommendations. He was always up front about what needed to be done and I never thought that he was recommending any useless procedures. Dr. Cheney is experienced, intelligent and very kind. I would recommend him to anyone! Additionally, his staff is wonderful to work with and very nice to the patients. Together they make a great team. read more

The very best you're going to get! He is the real thing. Excellent with difficult cases. He is very personable and I love his wonderful office staff. He has enough experience to have really perfected the art and science of his work. It's clear that his work is of the highest quality. He is one of the originals in Pleasanton and yet he has kept his office up to date with all of the latest equipment--Go see --you won't be disappointed! read more

Dr. Claire Marcel has taken over the helm at Dr. Cheney's office. She is amazing! I couldn't imagine a better transition. She is a lovely woman who is kind, caring, and compassionate. She is so personable and takes her time connecting with each patient. Dr. Cheney's excellent team of assistants stayed on which is a testament to how smooth the transition has been and to what an excellent orthodontist Dr. Claire is..... If you want warm, calm, personable, and the highest quality work ....you can't do better than Dr. Claire Marcel and her office. I recommend her without reservation. read more

well to all of you kids or adults out there who need braces this guy is the goods. i had to get braces just before my 7th grade year in school and dr. cheney made the experience very easy to deal with. at my age getting braces was a horrible thing, just as the girls were noticing! i had braces for 3 years and the cleaning and tightening were all very painless. it was always nice for me as he is located in the medical center next to amador high school. that last class bell rang and off to see the dr. and home in time for my duck tails. read more

I decided to fix some minor problems in my bite as an adult. Dr. Cheney was FABULOUS. Easy to make appointments, nice to be around, and clearly EXCEPTIONAL at what he does. It took 3 months and the results are wonderful. I couldn't imagine better. I've spoken with other friends who are patients or who have children who are patients. They are all happy with Dr. Cheney and his office staff. Especially parents with kids who suck their thumbs. Dr. Cheney has a fool-proof process that helps these kids stop sucking their thumbs with encouragement and positive praise. Go check him out! read more

My son who is 12 years old is here on summer visitation. He dislocated one of his wires and lost a couple of bands. Dad is in a panic right, because his orthodontist is 2000 miles away. So we call Dr. Cheney. Not only did they see us the same day,but we were there less than fifteen minutes and he didn't even charge us,what a great Dr. His staff is also very warm and friendly! If my son ever comes to live with dad, Dr. Cheney will certainly be the one. read more

I have 3 girls seeing Dr. Cheney and all 3 have had great experiences. The staff is very welcoming and kind (which is fantastic with my very shy 11 year old!) Dr. Cheney has always been very thorough in his explanations of what's happening and offers options on the next steps to be taken and doesn't move forward until we're all in agreement. I would recommend him to anyone who's in need of an orthodontist for their family!!!!! read more

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Cheney for about a year now. If you knew my daughter you'd know that going to a dentist made her very nervous, but since she has been seeing Dr. Cheney she has no problem going by herself.He makes her feel very comfortable and everything she has done is pain free. His staff are also very friendly and make her visits pleasant. We would highly recommend Dr. Cheney read more
